Reproducibility and Repeatability of Multifunctional MRI Biomarkers of the Body

June 22, 2015 updated by: Kyung Won Kim, Asan Medical Center
Advanced MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) technique called DCE (Dynamic Contrast Enhanced) and DWI MRI can provide valuable information regarding tumor biology and response to treatment through various parameters. Validating stability of these parameters will further establish robustness and reliability of these promising biomarkers.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
  • Allocation: N/A
  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: DCE and DWI MRI
MRI SCAN 1 and MRI SCAN 2 must be completed no less than 2 calendar days (to ensure 24 hours for clearance of gadolinium) and no greater than 14 days apart, and both must be completed prior to new treatment initiation. The same MRI unit and configuration must be used for MRI SCAN 1 and MRI SCAN 2.
